Help Us Blanket Rhode Island with Posters!

We’ve got three weeks left of Growing the NetWorks — and we want EVERYONE to know!

We’re looking for a few awesome volunteers to help get our posters into coffee shops, libraries, community centers, and other hot spots across Rhode Island.

Whether you can hit your own neighborhood, all of Providence, or take on a state-wide adventure, every poster you hang helps us reach more people.

🎯 Goal: At least 100 spots in the next few days!
🗓 Timing: Anytime in the next day or two (or this weekend!)
📍 We’ve got plenty of posters ready for pickup at the WaterFire Arts Center.

If you can help, drop by to grab a stack or send us a quick message so we can get you set up.

Let’s make sure everyone sees Growing the NetWorks before it closes August 31!
